Dear List Members,
We are pleased to announce openings for
enrollment within our 1 week intensive
short course on applications of stable isotopes in biogeochemistry at
Michigan State
University. The current cost for non-MSU students is $582 and
housing can be obtained
at a modest cost with the dorms at MSU. Please feel free to contact
us if you would like
further information.
